COVID 19 - Epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 and Mortality to Covid19 Disease Upon Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin Therapy in French Cancer Patients

To determine the prevalence and the 3-months incidence of SARS-CoV-2 in cancer patients (Part A).

To evaluate the Covid-19 disease-specific mortality rate in cancer patients treated by hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin (Part B).

• Patients with known contra-indication to treatment with the study drug, including retinopathy, G6PD deficiency, QT prolongation and severe hepato-cellular insufficiency.
• Patients post allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are eligible to the Part B treatments but the potential toxic effects of hydroxychloroquin and azithromycin on hematopoietic stem cells should be taken into consideration by prescribers.
